I crashed last night after watching this episode, so I'm writing this the next day while things aren't quite as fresh in my mind.
I just wanted to add that I looked it up on the internet and discovered that banana trees do grow in Louisiana. So I guess it's quite plausible that the traders could have had bananas.
As for Becka's return. Wow. I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt and suggest that due to lack of nutrition, the stress from being kidnapped, and the humiliation of knowing that she's the cause of her friends losing a large portion of their remaining food, she just wasn't in the right frame of mind when she had her tantrum. Her defenses were high probably because she knows she screwed up and she was just trying to waylay any blame the group might direct at her. Personally, instead of throwing a tantrum my first action would have been to apologize to the group for wandering off in the first place. Again, just because they didn't show it, doesn't mean it didn't take place. For all I know, she could've apologized when she settled down a little bit.
I don't know why it's such a big deal to me, but the fact that she takes the time to put on makeup with everything going on just makes me want to throttle her.
And then there's the windmill. What a triumphant moment for the colonists! I hope that nasty gash on Reno's arm doesn't cause him grief down the road. The colonists needs him.
Still wondering when Adam will make an appearance.
Even though the group hasn't formally chosen a leader, I get the feeling that they look to Sally and Reno as sort of a dual-leadership.
I really like these people as a whole. There seems to be enough positive energy among them to keep everyone focused even in times of duress. If I had to pick a favourite, it would be Sally. My least favourite would be Becka; but I will say, even though I like to pick on her, I still think she adds a positive contribution to the collective effort.
